Hello, I’m Muffin

Therapy dog at Irabina

I work full-time at Irabina in group and individual sessions with children and young people to help them learn new skills. Trained by the Centre for Service and Therapy Dogs Australia, my skills include helping children with socialising, building confidence, keep attention, making eye contact and other sensory development like touching my very curly coat. I also encourage children to make gestures or vocalise demands by sitting and coming when I’m told.

When I’m not working, I love playing with leaves, running outside and having lunch with my colleagues. If you’d like to learn more about the work I do, please call reception and ask them questions about me.

Evidence-based therapies are customised to your family’s individual needs and circumstances. The therapists will help you set appropriate goals and help children reach them in one-on-one or group sessions.

Different services have different costs which are now defined by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). During your intake or NDIS pre-planning meeting, an Irabina staff member will run through the Government funding options available to you.
